Tube XP8109-02?!

[nazgul]

Recently, I had an opportunity to obtain fair amount of tubes of all sorts.
Among the others, there was tube (at a first glance simmilar to 300B) that bears only marking XP8109-02 on the outer glass surface.
I tried extensive internet search about this tube...needless to say, without success )).
Does anyone knows anything about this tube?!?

Thnx

Looks like some kind of tetrode or hexode used in the I.F amps of radios....

Just a wild guess....

How many grids does it have....?

@Alastair E.

First of all, thnx for showing interest to help! I would say that it has two grids, but I'm not 100% certain...
Do You maybe have some usefull links where I can try and search some data regarding this tube. All the usual ones I tried... maybe something unusual )... Is there anything that You might say about this tube from the designation number... even remotely?!? )

It would help greatly if you could post a really close-up pic of the electrode system. I've been trying to look at the enlarged version of the pics you put up but the resolution is simply too low.
Still, the external shield cylinder and some details on how the electrodes are arranged lead me to believe it might be a gas filled tube... so you should be prepared for a dissapointment, as these are not really usable in audio. That being said, i might be dead wrong, it's too early to tell. Where are you in Zagreb? Having a look at the tube close up might help...

Hi ilimzn,
First of all, dissapointment is out of the question due to the fact that I have only 9 of those tubes in, and among, of the stash that includes several hundreds of tubes of all kinds (primarilly russian made ones).
My interest in this tube type is just an interest shown when one has something that is unknown to him... and then one gets angry and frustrated
